Oh wow! Thank you. John has a Mac that I know NOTHING about --and I know this photo must be somewhere on it. Seeing it makes me cry--and smile-- both! John would be so honored by this thread. I certainly am--and please know how much strength and comfort each and very one of you is giving me. I found the anniversary card John gave me last May--and it has two eagles flying together in the clouds with the words "Love is the wind beneath our wings". I know for certain now that it is God's love--being sent to me through all of you--that is uplifting my heavy heart right now. Thank you all so much--and God Bless!

Thought you would want to know......

To let you know.....

My sincere prayers for peace for you. 1John was a great FReeper.

 

God bless and comfort you.

 

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians

13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I am so very sorry for your husband's passing; you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

[Grammy]

May the Peace that passes understanding fill you. May His arms surround you, and comfort you.

[WillaJohns]

My deepest condolences to you and your family. John was such a gracious person, and his sweet tempered posts on this forum were our blessing.

I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from Thee;
In Thee is life provided
For all mankind and me:
I know no death, O Father,
Because I live in Thee;
Thy life it is that frees us
From death eternally.

I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me:
Since Thou, my God and Father,
Dost claim me as Thine own,
I richly shall inherit
All good, from Thee alone.

[Citizen Soldier]

[Pegita]

Joining the circle of prayer ... for now, separation ... but later, eternal reunion. May the love of our Lord, your family, and friends, sustain you in this time.

My deepest sympathies, milagro! I didn't know him, but did see his screenname and posts from time to time and knew that he was my brother in Christ. May the God of all Comfort give you comfort as you grieve.

milagro, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. 1John was such a lovely person and we always enjoyed playing the fishing game with him during the FReepathons. We will miss him very much.

On Eagles Wings

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

[Ff--150]

God bless you--the Lord has a good friend with Him.

[BigBlueJon]

So sorry for your loss. Keep your chin up. We've had a lot of death in our family the past six months. It's the support of friends, family and God that have helped us. Know that you're cared for.

[monkeywrench]

God Bless you and yours, milagro. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.

[exit82]

Milagro, we will miss IJohn. He was a gentleman, and a true patriot. His work and his faithfulness are being rewarded as we speak, as he basks in the glow of the presence of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is safe with Him. And you will join him again, one glorious day.

Because He lives

I can face tomorrow

Because He lives

All fear is gone

Because I know, I know

He holds the future,

And life is worth the living

Just because He lives!

May the Lord bless you and His peace envelope you now, dear sister.

[nothingnew]

I've read this whole thread with tears in my eyes...we are a special bunch.

God bless you and yours, and know that 1John is finally home.
